Apply different styles to TileList Renderer

Hi guys,
I created a TileList:
<mx:TileList
id="tile"
dragEnabled="true"
dropEnabled="false"
allowMultipleSelection="true"
itemRenderer="CamCanvas"
dataProvider="{model.pictures}"/>
and I created my own itemRender="CamCanvas":
which is just a simple Canvas component. What I would like to
do is to set a border/padding between elements in the TileList.
By default they are next to each other. Do you know any way
to do that?

Jeff,
Apply Oracle Portal styles at the region level. Your portlets within each region will inherit the style defined for the region.

How to apply different styles to multiple spry accordian panels?

Hi all,
I have a website that I'm building that has multiple spry accordian features on it.
I am trying to apply different styles to each accordian. A problem arises when I try to place an accordian within another accordian.
I have styled two different background images for two of the accordians for the styles (AccordionPanelTab, AccordionPanelTabHover and AccordionPanelOpen AccordionPanelTabHover) which work fine.
When I try and place an accordian within another accordian the background image for this accordian for the styles (AccordionPanelTab and AccordionPanelOpen AccordionPanelTabHover) has the different style applyed that I stated in the accordion.css file, however the style (AccordionPanelTabHover) has the same style as the accordian it is within even though in the accordion.css file I stated a different background image.
I hope all this makes sence below is my source and CSS Code.
I appriciate any help that can be given to help resolve this issue I am running in too.

Okay guys,
I figured it out, if anyone was having the same problem as me and looking on this thread for the answer, here it is.
Firstly if you're wanting to seperatly style two or more Spry Accordions that are not within each other e.g.
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Accordion2" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You don't have to do this, as long as you have seperate ID's for the divs (which dreamweaver automatically does anyway) you'll be fine.
However if for some reason you want to put one accordion inside another like I did e.g.
<div id="Accordion1" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
<div id="Accordion2" class="Accordion" tabindex="0">
<div class="AccordionPanel">
    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Label 1</div>
    <div class="AccordionPanelContent">
   <p>Content Goes Here </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Too style Accordian 1 & 2 so their tabs both have different backgrounds and Hover background when the content panel is open and closed you have to style it in the CSS they following way;
CSS
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTab {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg.png);}
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTabHover,
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelOpen .AccordionPanelTabHover {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg_RO.png);}
#Accordion2 .AccordionPanelTab {
height:44px;
width:469px;
background:url(../images/packages_spry.png);}
#Accordion2 .AccordionPanelClosed .AccordionPanelTabHover,
#Accordion2 .AccordionPanelOpen .AccordionPanelTabHover {
height:44px;
width:469px;
background:url(../images/packages_spry_ro.png);}
Normally when styling two seperate spry accordions you can just use the following code
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTab {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg.png);}
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelTabHover,
#Accordion1 .AccordionPanelOpen .AccordionPanelTabHover {
height:75px;
width:285px;
background:url(../images/package_spry_tab_bg_RO.png);}
The only difference with styling a Spry accordion within another to ensure they have different hover backgrounds when the content panel is open and closed is ".AccordionPanelClosed".
Hope this helped anyone who was having the same issue I was.

How to apply different styles to Portlets on the same Portal page?

How do you apply different styles to Portlets on the same Portal page?
I'm new to this kind of thing, but understand that something called "cascading style sheets" can help here?
What are these, how do you use them, and can you make different Portlets (all types - PL/SQL, Java, Applications, etc) on the same Portal page have different styles assigned?
Thanks!

How to apply different styles to multiple spry collapsible panels?

Hello every.
I would really appreciate some help with this problem I am coming up against.
I am creating a website which has multiple Spry collapsible panels in it. I applied the styles I wanted for the first Spry collapsible panel I did in the styles panel with no problems what so ever.
However when I go to apply the styles I want for my second and every other Spry collapsible panel, when I applied the style I wanted it changed the first panel I did. I’ve tried giving all my collapsible panels different Div ID’s but no luck. I just can’t seem to apply different styles to each of my collapsible panels.
Can someone please advise me how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Elliot

I've figured the most of it out.
By giving the Spry Collapsible Panel that you want to style differently a separate ID and class and then duplicating the original Spry Collapsible Panel style in the CSS style panel on the right and renaming them the same name as the panel you want to style differently it will allow you to style it differently to all the other panels apart from the Hover.
I've tried everything! Below is the code I'm using for the two Collapsible Panels I want to style Differently.
I only want to have different Tab backgrounds and Hover backgrounds
1st Spry CollapsiblePanel
Code:
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0">Tab</div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">Content</div>
CSS Style
.CollapsiblePanelTab
.CollapsiblePanelTabHover, .CollapsiblePanelOpen .CollapsiblePanelTabHover
2nd Spry CollapsiblePanel
Code:
<div id="CollapsiblePanel2" class="CollapsiblePanel2">
<div class="CollapsiblePanel2Tab" tabindex="0">Tab</div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanel2Content">Content</div>
</div>
.CollapsiblePanel2Tab
.CollapsiblePanel2TabHover, .CollapsiblePanelOpen .CollapsiblePanel2TabHover
As I said the Tab works both I have two seperate background images for the Tabs but I can only seem to have one background for the hover.
Has anyone any ideas on how to get around this?
Kind regards
Elliot

Applying different style sheets

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I would like to apply
different style sheets to different outputs.
For example: (Both outputs use the same data)
Output to PDF = Style Sheet 1
Output to WebHelp = Style Sheet 2
Is there an easy way to do this?

It would be lovely to select a style sheet as you are
generating the output, wouldn't it? As far as I can see, however,
style sheets are assigned per topic thru a reference RH sticks in
the HTML header.
Which leaves you two options:
1) The simple but tedious way: In the Topics list (on the
right), select all the topics. Right-click and pick Properties.
When the Properties window opens, choose the stylesheet you want on
the Appearance tab. Click OK. You would need to do this each time
you switch from generating WebHelp to generating PDF.
2) The complex but cool if it works way: I don't use the PDF
plug-in - do you still generate PDF from the Printed Documentation
layout? If so, can you use the StyleMapping.dot template? (I seem
to remember that the PDF goes through a Word stage behind the
scenes.) You can open StyleMapping.dot in Word (be sure to use File
> Open so you get the .dot) and change the styles into what is
effectively a new style sheet. It may take some tweaking - I still
can't get my bulleted styles to come out quite right - but it's
great for global changes.
HTH,

Apply different styles to text within a Text field?

I am working on an application that consumes a user-generated
HTML file and displays it on part of a Flex screen. The main
problem is HTML can look something like this (for example):
Hello <span class="greeting">Mr. Smith</span>,
how are you doing <span class="title>today</span>.
Unfortunately, the Flex Text control only accepts a single
style that is applied to all text within the control and the
htmlText property only allows for very basic HTML markup and does
not include support for applying styles to a part of the text.
I've thought about creating a series of Text controls (each
with its own style as needed) and putting them together in an HBox.
However, this messes up word wrapping if the text exceeds the width
of its container.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Dustin

Could you please elaborate your requirement since you can have different instances of synchronized text have different formatting.
So your original menu can consist of various text blocks (marked with different content tags) and then duplicate them and apply different formatting to the copied text. The text is still linked and an update to one will get synced to the other.
If you are looking at applying different styling to chunks of text within one textframe (marked using a content tag), THAT is not possible, since the tagged content is supposed to maintain integrity of text and not the associated styling (which you should be able to apply independently).
Hope that makes sense.
Cheers,
Vikas

Use Conditional Tags to apply different Style Sheets / Skins for branding purposes?

RoboHelp HTML > WebHelp layout appearance using Conditional Build Tags
I have a customer who supplies an application to different corporates, and brands his product by changing the appearance, using a selected style sheet to suit the Brand.
Is there a way to customise a WebHelp layout, to select a style sheet and a skin for Brand A, and another style sheet and skin for Brand B, and so on?
Would this work in RH7? (The customer uses this at the moment.)
Would this work in RH8? (They could upgrade if this solves the problem.)
Philip Tory, Technical Author

Hi Phillip
RoboHelp 8 offers an ability to nominate a specific CSS file in the Single Source Layout recipe. So sure.
Cheers... Rick

PLEASE make it possilbe to apply different styles to synchroniez text !! I have a long restaurant menu which i have to update 3 times insted of just 1 :-(

Br,
Mike

How I got around it is, the heading which is in bold (what the food is) would be in a collection across the desktop, tablet and phone, and then the desciption of what the food is (not in bold) would be in another collection across the 3 platform, this then would updaye it across all three platforms and keep the styling to the text

Different styles to the portlet regions

Oracle Portal 9.0.2.2.22
How to apply different styles to the portlet regions within a page?
Regards
Rajesh Kumar

Hi Rajesh -
Unfortunately you can only change the style of item regions, not portlet regions. If you only need to change the portlet background color there is a little trick you can do with version 9.0.2.6 (I do not have a 9.0.2.2 build to try with)
Place the portlet that should have a different background color on a different page. Set the Style property for this page. The style should set the Common background color as the color you wish to be the portlet background color. In the style, set the portlet background color to NULL (allowing the common background color to show through). In the page properties, on the optional tab, expose this page as a page portlet, and ensure the page does not use the style of the page on which the portlet is placed.
Now expose the page portlet on the page you originally wanted the portlet to show.
Hope this helps. I would be interested to know if this also works in 9.0.2.2 as in 9.0.2.6.
Thanks,
Candace

Apply different font styles in single text frame

hi all
how can i apply different font styles in a single text frame using indesign script ?
for example :
"dasdnasndasndlasndnasdlasdasdas"
may i know is it possible to do that and how to do that ?
thanks

You can set (as well as read) every single property of any text range with scripts. This is javascript; it assumes you text cursor is inside a frame with some text.
* Setting some specific characters to a color:
app.selection[0].parentStory.characters.itemByRange(5,10).fillColor = "Red";
* Change the font of words:
app.selection[0].parentStory.words[3].appliedFont = "Arial\tBold";
* .. or just the style:
app.selection[0].parentStory.lines[2].fontStyle = "Italic";
* .. or any other attribute (this one requires you to have at least 5 characters selected):
app.selection[0].characters[5].underline = true;
Of course these operations are not limited to something you select; they work the same with any text frames you can refer to.
app.activeDocument.textFrames[1].paragraphs[2].appliedCharacterStyle = "charstyle";

How to apply different CSS styles to different table cells?

I have an h:dataTable table and I would like to apply different CSS styles to different table cells depending on their content. If I were doing JSP I would probably have a <c:if> test on the cells, and give them a style name depending on contents, and then define the styles in a separate style sheet. Is there a way in JSF to do the equivalent? Thanks.

BalusC wrote:
How to achieve a cell-specific style is already answered in my 1st reply of this topic.That tells how to apply a style to the text (or other content) inside a cell but not how to apply a style to the <td> as a whole. It would work for something like text font or text color but not cell border.
I'm thinking I can mark the content somehow and then have javascript traverse the DOM, find marked content, and traverse outward to the enclosing <td>. Is there a better way?BalusC already spoke about rowClasses and columnClass attributes, I assume those are insufficient.
The Tomahawk dataTable component has the rowStyleClass and rowStyle attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML tr tag. One is allowed to reference the row data variable when assigning values to these. However, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-523 for workarounds to bugs in some implementations.
The Tomahawk column component has the styleClass and style attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML td tag. These also may reference the row data variable.

Can you apply different paragraph styles for each orientation?

I would like to apply different paragraph styles to the text, depending if it is viewed on portrait or landscape mode, but everytime I change one the other changes automatically. Is there a way to break this link?

Unfortunately, iBA doesn't provide a lever to pull that can make a particular text style orientation specific.

Help: apply different para styles to several consecutive paragraphs via script

Hi all,
I need to apply different para styles to several consecutive paragraphs via script, something like this (found somewhere on the net):
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var mySel = app.selection[0];
var myPStyle1 = "A";
var myPStyle2 = "B";
//need to add 6 more styles here:
//var myPStyle3 = "C";
//var myPStyle4 = "D";
//var myPStyle5 = "E";
//var myPStyle6 = "F";
//var myPStyle7 = "G";
//var myPStyle8 = "H";
//the last style not needed in script?
// apply 1st style to 1st paragraph
mySel.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle1);
// apply styles to paragraphs after selected
//2nd style
mySel.paragraphs[-1].insertionPoints[-1].appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2);
//next style
mySel.paragraphs[-1].insertionPoints[-1].paragraphs[0].insertionPoints[-1].appliedParagrap hStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2).nextStyle;
I've tried badly, but can't find the way to extend the sequence
Sorry, no skills in scripting yet...
all styles have 'Next Style' option activated, but I can't use 'Apply style, then Next style' or Object styles, because I need four different sequences of those para styles:
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H
A-B-D-E-G-H
A-C-D-F-G-H
A-D-G-H
and I really don't want to create special clones of the same style for each sequence (Keep It Simple, they say ).
I believe it can be done via four slightly adjusted scripts...
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Sorry about being late to the party, I usually pick up stuff like this right away.
How about this one?
1. No separate scripts needed, it uses a tiny dialog where you can choose what style set to use. If I'm correct, you can press a number key on Windows to immediately select one of the items.
2. It works down from the paragraph your cursor is in. It has nothing to do with text frames, though -- consecutive paragraphs inside a story always ignore any text frames.
3. Extensible: you can easily change the names of the styles in the top array, and the number of style groups in the list.
var styleLists = [
          [ "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H" ],
          [ "A", "B", "D", "E", "G", "H" ],
          [ "A", "C", "D", "F", "G", "H" ],
          [ "A", "D", "G", "H" ]
var radiobutts = [];

          with (dialogColumns.add())
                    with (radiobuttonGroups.add())

Different Styles in PlainView - Syntax Highlighting?

Hi,
I've managed to extend PlainView and looking at old JEdit code I have the syntax highlighting working for the most part. However, at certain times while typing the cursor starts to get way ahead of the text it's typing. And as I backspace on the line the cursor eventually gets closer to the character the closer it gets to the start of the line.
I'm overridding the "drawUnselectedText()" method in PlainView to do the coloring.
Here's the code, you can see the call to SyntaxUtilities.paintSyntaxLine() which is JEdit's class to do the drawing.
         * Renders the given range in the model as normal unselected text. This
         * is implemented to paint colors based upon the token-to-color
         * translations. To reduce the number of calls to the Graphics object,
         * text is batched up until a color change is detected or the entire
         * requested range has been reached.
         * @param g
         *            the graphics context
         * @param x
         *            the starting X coordinate
         * @param y
         *            the starting Y coordinate
         * @param p0
         *            the beginning position in the model
         * @param p1
         *            the ending position in the model
         * @returns the location of the end of the range
         * @exception BadLocationException
         *                if the range is invalid
        protected int drawUnselectedText(Graphics g, int x, int y, int p0, int p1) throws BadLocationException {
            System.out.println("p0: " + p0 + " p1: " + p1 + " x: " + x + " y: " + y);
            // Get the start of the element
            int lineIndex = doc.getDefaultRootElement().getElementIndex(p0);
            // Get the element for the line
            Element elem = doc.getDefaultRootElement().getElement(lineIndex);
            System.out.println("lineIndex: " + lineIndex + " elemStartIDX: " + elem.getStartOffset() + " elemEndIDX: " + elem.getEndOffset());
            // Get the line text
            doc.getText(p0, p1 - p0, currentLineText);
            // If highlighting, mark the tokens
            if (marker != null) {
                Token t = marker.markTokens(currentLineText, lineIndex);
                x = SyntaxUtilities.paintSyntaxLine(currentLineText, t, styles, this, g, x, y, p0, p1);
                System.out.println("Painted line at: " + x);
            } else {
                // No highlighting requested, draw normal text
                Font defaultFont = g.getFont();
                Color defaultColor = styles[0].getColor(); // Default color of text
                g.setFont(defaultFont);
                g.setColor(defaultColor);
                x = Utilities.drawTabbedText(currentLineText, x, y, g, this, p0);
            // Set the last line processed
            lastLine = lineIndex;
            return x;
Here is the code from the paintSyntaxLine() method:
     * Paints the specified line onto the graphics context. Note that this
     * method munges the offset and count values of the segment.
     * @param line
     *            The line segment
     * @param tokens
     *            The token list for the line
     * @param styles
     *            The syntax style list
     * @param expander
     *            The tab expander used to determine tab stops. May be null
     * @param gfx
     *            The graphics context
     * @param x
     *            The x co-ordinate
     * @param y
     *            The y co-ordinate
     * @return The x co-ordinate, plus the width of the painted string
    public static int paintSyntaxLine(Segment line, Token tokens, SyntaxStyle[] styles, TabExpander expander, Graphics gfx, int x, int y, int p0, int p1) {
        Font defaultFont = gfx.getFont();
        Color defaultColor = Color.black;
        FontMetrics fm = gfx.getFontMetrics(defaultFont);
        int offset = 0;
        while (tokens != null && tokens.id != Token.END) {
            int length = tokens.length;
            if (tokens.id == Token.NULL) {
                if (!defaultColor.equals(gfx.getColor()))
                    gfx.setColor(defaultColor);
                if (!defaultFont.equals(gfx.getFont()))
                    gfx.setFont(defaultFont);
            } else {
                styles[tokens.id].setGraphicsFlags(gfx, defaultFont);
//                fm = gfx.getFontMetrics();//[tokens.id].getStyledFont(defaultFont);
//                FontMetrics dfm = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetrics(defaultFont);
//                System.out.println("Font Info: CharWidth[" + fm.charWidth(line.array[p1])+"], Max Advance[" + fm.getMaxAdvance()+"]");
//                System.out.println("Default Font Info: CharWidth[" + dfm.charWidth(line.array[p1])+"], DMax Advance[" + dfm.getMaxAdvance()+"]");
////                x = fm.charsWidth(line.array, p0, length);
            line.count = length;
            x = Utilities.drawTabbedText(line, x, y, gfx, expander, p0);
            line.offset += length;
            offset += length;
            tokens = tokens.next;
        return x;
I'm not sure what the problem is..i thought it might be an issue with the View and drawing multiple font styles. Since plain view only deals with a single font color and size. I tried using LabelView but that seems to need a StyledDocument and I had problems when I tried to use DefaultStyledDocument for my syntaxdocument. I was getting strange offset issues when using the Segment class.
Here's what I posted: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=780801
I am using PlainDocument because that seemed to be what everyone was using for a syntax editor..since the structure of the document in a Plain Document is less complex.
I orginally started out using the setCharacterAttributes() method on the DefaultStyledDocument and letting the views draw the text. That all seemed to work except for the "segment offset" issue. And I wasn't sure where the best spot to get the document to redraw subsequent lines in the case of changing a multiline comment, etc.
So, everything I read about others attempts for syntax highlighters seems to use either StyledEditorKit with a fixed language set with custom parsing and using the setCharacterAttributes method. Or they use the plaindocument approach with a custom view..(which no one seems to share the source) or the project just simply uses the JEditTextArea directly (which we can't do in our product).
We don't need multiple fonts per-line.. The document will always use one font face (Arial, Helvetica, etc) but may use different styles per word (bold, italic, etc).
I thought I'd need to use FontMetrics to get the size of the font and such. But there didn't seem to be a difference in measurements based on the style of the font. (i.,e A bold font has the same charWidth('m') size as a regular style.
At least that's what my test program showed..
The other thing I noticed is that when the document is successfully colored and I use the mouse to select a region of text, the style of the text reverts back to normal. I'm sure that's because I only override the drawUnselectedText() method.
Any ideas? Is there anyone who has successfully done this?
Thanks,
- Tim

I just tried using a proportional font in my editor, and now I'm seeing your runaway-caret problem. Specifically, the caret remains in sync with the text as long as no bold characters are encountered, but it gets noticeably farther out of whack with each bold character it passes. I suspect that, when you measured the charWidth, your FontMetrics object wasn't really based on a bold font, because bold versions of proportional fonts are larger. And of course, the model/view conversion methods assume that the same style of the same font is used throughout the document. I've never had to deal with that problem, since I've always used monospaced fonts by preference, and bold versions of monospaced fonts really are the same size as the non-bold versions. I suggest you do the same, because getting this to work with proportional fonts look like a major hassle.

FIND/CHANGE - Applying Paragraph Style

Hello,
I used FIND/CHANGE to apply my paragraph style and when I apply the paragraph style... it applies the style to the entire line.
For example,
A. #70712 resulted to A. #70712
I only wanted the "#70712" to be changed to my style. I used the GREP search and entered #.+ and then I choose the paragraph style I want and clicked change all. The problem is that it changed all the text on that line and applied the paragraph style.
Please help. Thank you very much.

If I understand your request correctly:
If your paragraph style uses a numbered list to create the "A." and the remainder of the paragraph consists of only "# 70712" that you type in manually (or place from an existing file), I believe that you you don't need GREP. You can format the auto-numbered list differently from the remainder of its paragraph, by specifying a character style for the number portion.
To extract only the non-numbered portion of an auto-numbered paragraph, for a TOC, in the Table of Contents dialog box, open the bottom part by clicking More Options if necessary, and in the Numbered Paragraphs pull-down menu, select Exclude Numbers.
Read more about Table of Contents in Help, and/or with a Google search for terms like "InDesign table of contents numbered list exclude numbers" without quotes.
If you need additional special formatting "tricks" in the source paragraphs, or in the TOC entry paragraphs, look into Nested Styles and GREP
Styles in Help or Google searches.
